Cake with "Plombir" Cream
Description
Homemade pastry for tea. This marvelous cake is made on a base of condensed milk, which in Germany is called “Milch Mädchen”, that is, milk girl. The “Plombir” cream, prepared with sour cream, gives a slight tang to this fairly sweet pastry, creating a wonderful flavor palette. There is nothing complicated about making such a cake, but it will take time. I assure you, your efforts will not be in vain. The “Plombir” cream holds its shape well, and it can be used to decorate the cake just as well as meringue or whipped cream.
